Since gender is defined in terms of social and cultural norms -- and, yes, to an extent in terms of stereotypes, which admittedly can make the discussion uncomfortable -- then it's relevant to social issues. But how much one "needs" to know, and how much it's more just about what's *useful* in a given social interaction, is anyone's guess.
Once again, this seems to be repeating, more or less, what I said earlier.

No bednobs. It's only women who have been pregnant that have those antibodies, and they are safe for everyone except men.
That's the most honest thing I have ever seen you say, Jim. Thank you.
Gender is about stereotypes... is a woman still an adult female?
Because.... I don't follow many stereotypes. Am I a woman?

I was driving back from the SW to the SE yesterday. There was a discussion on the radio about the length of time that people are having to wait for gender realignment surgery. A woman phoned in and said that she had a 'daughter who was assigned as male at birth' Sorry but she had a son who had gender dysphoria.
// You include pronouns, which are sex. //
Are they? This is precisely the debate we had ages ago, when I made clear that I defined pronouns in terms of gender. Evidently, you missed this point, but to reiterate, I understand pronouns -- and, indeed, so do an increasing number of people, and no small number of different cultures for that matter -- in terms of gender. Hence, for example, when I use "he", I'm referring to a man, or to a trans man (ie, someone who was assigned female at birth but now identifies as a man).

No. I didn't miss the point. I disagreed- as does the rest if the country.

It's manifestly not the case that the rest of the country disagrees with me. I wouldn't care to estimate how much of the country holds to one understanding or the other, but certainly it's increasingly common to understand pronouns in terms of gender. And, as I said, it's also not difficult to find multiple cultures, from across the world, that have a similarly and sometimes even more nuanced understanding of gender and how it relates to pronouns.
